1 »In angelu cerkve v Sardah piši: ›Te besede govori on, ki ima sedem Božjih Duhov in sedem zvezd; poznam tvoja dela, da imaš ime, da živiš, pa si mrtev.
“And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: “He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 Bodi oprezen in okrépi stvari, ki ostanejo, ki so pripravljene, da umro, kajti tvojih del nisem našel popolnih pred Bogom.
Wake up and strengthen the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
3 Spomni se torej, kako si prejel in slišal in trdno drži ter se pokesaj. Če torej ne boš stražil, bom prišel nadte kakor tat in ne boš vedel, katero uro bom prišel nadte.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.
4 Nekaj imen imaš celó v Sardah, ki si niso omadeževali svojih oblek; in ti bodo hodili z menoj v belem, kajti vredni so.
Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that didn’t defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 Kdor premaga, ta isti bo oblečen v belo oblačilo in njegovega imena ne bom izbrisal iz knjige življenja, temveč bom njegovo ime priznal pred svojim Očetom in pred njegovimi angeli.
He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam.‹«
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
7 »In angelu cerkve v Filadelfiji piši: ›Te besede govori tisti, ki je svét, tisti, ki je resničen, tisti, ki ima Davidov ključ, tisti, ki odpira in noben človek ne zapira; in zapira, pa noben človek ne odpira.
“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:
8 Poznam tvoja dela. Glej, pred teboj sem postavil odprta vrata in noben človek jih ne more zapreti, kajti majhno moč imaš in ohranil si mojo besedo in nisi zanikal mojega imena.
“I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.
9 Glej, prisilil bom te, iz Satanove shodnice, ki pravijo, da so Judje, pa niso, temveč lažejo; glej, prisilil jih bom, da pridejo in obožujejo pred tvojimi stopali in da spoznajo, da sem te vzljubil.
Behold, I make some of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie—behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10 Ker si ohranil besedo moje potrpežljivosti, bom tudi jaz tebe obvaroval pred uro preizkušnje, ki bo prišla nad ves svet, da preizkusi tiste, ki prebivajo na zemlji.
Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Glej, pridem hitro. Trdno drži to, kar imaš, da ti noben človek ne odvzame tvoje krone.
I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.
12 Tistega, ki premaga, bom naredil [za] steber v templju svojega Boga in ne bo več šel ven; in nanj bom napisal ime svojega Boga in ime mesta svojega Boga, ki je novi Jeruzalem, ki prihaja dol z neba od mojega Boga in nanj bom napisal svoje novo ime.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
13 Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam.‹«
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
14 »In angelu cerkve Laodikejcev piši: ›Te besede govori Amen, zvesta in resnična priča, začetek Božjega stvarstva;
“To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:
15 poznam tvoja dela, da nisi niti mrzel niti vroč. Želim si, da bi bil mrzel ali vroč.
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
16 Zaradi tega, ker si mlačen in nisi niti mrzel niti vroč, te bom izpljunil iz svojih ust.‹
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
17 Ker praviš: ›Bogat sem in okrepil sem se z dobrinami in ne potrebujem ničesar; ‹ pa ne veš, da si pomilovanja vreden in beden in reven in slep ter nag,
Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing,’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
18 ti svetujem, da kupiš od mene zlata, prečiščenega v ognju, da boš lahko bogat in belo oblačilo, da boš lahko oblečen in da se ne prikaže sramota tvoje nagote in svoje oči mazili z mazilom za oči, da boš lahko videl.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
19 Kolikor jih imam rad, oštevam in karam. Bodi torej goreč in se pokesaj.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Glej, stojim pred vrati in trkam. Če katerikoli človek sliši moj glas in odpre vrata, bom vstopil k njemu in bom večerjal z njim in on z menoj.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.
21 Tistemu, ki premaga, bom zagotovil, da sede z menoj na moj prestol, celo kakor sem tudi sam zmagal in sem s svojim Očetom poseden na njegovem prestolu.
He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 Kdor ima uho, naj sliši, kaj Duh govori cerkvam.‹«
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
